LiontipsEkaterina Alexandrova vs Anett Kontaveit. Predictions and Betting Tips for WTA Kremlin Cup
Command Analysis
Before the start of Kremlin Cup hardly anyone could predict Ekaterina Alexandrova to reach the final. Overall, she was not performing so well during this season. But Russian player was fortunate enough to find a way into the final.
In two out of four Alexandrova's matches her opponents failed to finish the match. In the first round Ons Jabeur withdrew herself from the match, in the semi-final Maria Sakkari did the same thing. In other matches Alexandrova recorded an easy victory over Kalinina (6:1, 6:4) and sensationally beat Aryna Sabalenka (6:4, 6:4). Belarusian player also was not in the best condition after the positive test for coronavirus.
Anett Kontaveit will play her fourth final in WTA tournaments this season. At Eastbourne she failed to record a victory over Jelena Ostapenko. But Estonian player won trophies at Cleveland and at Ostrava.
Kontaveit has no defeats on indoor courts during this year so far. She recorded five victories at Ostrava and four - at Moscow. Kontaveit had no mercy for her opponents at the Kremlin Cup, she recorded all of her victories in straight sets. Kontaveit beat Siniakova, Petkovic, Muguruza and Vondrousova along her way.
